Context vs Content

Context vs Content

1) Imagine beer being served in wine glasses

2) Imagine going to funeral wearing colored clothes

These are examples where the quality of Beer or Designer Clothes fall flat

Content makes no sense when out of context. Out of context is being inappropriate

Context and Content go hand in hand. Our belief system, our values, our purpose, our age, our liabilities etc makes up our context. Therefore 'what is a good investment' has no answer without understanding the context.

Equities today may be okay if one is starting a small SIP but may not be okay if one has a large Lump sum to invest. Equities may be okay for a young person but may not be okay for an elderly person

Debt may not serve its purpose for a poor man but may be perfect for a rich man. A Financial Strategy is like making tailor made clothes which fit you perfectly well. Quality of fabric is content but if it does not fit you then it serves no purpose because it is out of context. Therefore when it comes to your Investment never compare your strategy with that of others because your context and theirs are different.
